At this time, Li Mao was not the only one who was also secretly cursing Qiu Feng. Li Tianxuan was sitting on his horse, panting, shaking off the blood on his saber, and staring unwillingly at the large banner with the word "Qiu" in front of the Jin army's formation. There was a sea of people. He couldn't see the fair-skinned Jin army coach. He wanted to rush over and stab Qiu Feng in the neck. If he could do it, the Jin army would probably collapse. Unfortunately, after several rushes, he had too many men. There are injuries, and now the Jin cavalry can't shake them off like maggots on their tarsal bones.
A lieutenant next to him seemed to know what General Li was thinking, and said to Li Tianxuan: "General, there is no chance now. Their cavalry is approaching. We have to find a way to get rid of them first."
"Yes, I know," Li Mao said, inserting his saber into the scabbard, tugging on the horse's reins, and shouting loudly to his subordinates, "Follow me, I know a place where I can fuck them hard." Before leaving, I took another look at the big scroll with the word "Qiu" in front of me, and secretly thought to myself that sooner or later I will chop you down.
Li Tianxuan's cavalry left the battlefield with the Jin army's cavalry. Soon, the pressure on the Liang army on the city wall increased greatly. The two roads that the cavalry led out among the Jin army were quickly filled with soldiers, wave after wave. The Jin army is like a wave constantly hitting Luo Jingcheng.
The long ladder that had been pushed down by Liang Jun was raised up and put back on the city wall. The foot of each long ladder was protected by more than a dozen shields, blocking the arrows and bricks and rubble falling on the city. A Jin soldier A group of people lined up to climb up with knives. Suddenly, the long ladder nearby was ignited by kerosene and a fire broke out. The Jin soldiers, covered in flames, screamed inhumanly and ran wildly. They didn't care. The person who had just climbed up screamed. They screamed and fell to their feet. They didn't care. The people around them were suddenly hit by rocks falling from above, and their brains were shattered. Red and white things splashed all over their bodies. They didn't care. They only cared about one thing, that is, to climb up and kill the beam above. military.
When it was his turn to climb the ladder, his eyes were already gray and only the blood splashed into his eyes could make the world come alive again.
Li Jian had long wanted to find an opportunity to go to his grandfather's side, but the Jin army's offensive suddenly became more fierce. At this time, he unconsciously regarded himself as the guard of this section of the city wall, but when he saw his grandfather's side There were only two retinues, so he called the retinues sent by his grandfather to protect him and ordered them to go back to protect the general. Those retinues had already seen Li Jian's bravery when he fought just now, and they were filled with admiration. The major general ordered himself to go back to protect the general, so he took the order and killed Li Mao where he was.
Li Mao knew what Qiu Feng was up to. This Qiu Feng was full of cunning tricks at the beginning, but after they didn't work, he simply used stupid methods to fight him. With the Jin army having many soldiers, he traded his life for his own. This old man exchanged his life for his own arrows, his life for his rolling wood and stone, his life for his kerosene bullets, his life for his own life. As long as he could capture Luojing City, let alone ten lives. He did it in exchange for one life, even twenty or thirty lives in exchange for one life. Although this method was stupid, it was the most effective one at the moment. The Luo Jing City that he saw before his eyes began to collapse under his attack that did not care about human life. .
No matter, Li Mao thought to himself, this is only fair. I rely on the strong city and he relies on the large number of soldiers. No one loses. It depends on who can persist to the end!
The subordinates Li Mao had sent out to retake the city wall had not returned yet. They were entangled by a steady stream of Jin soldiers rushing up and could not escape. Although those retinues were all very skilled, their strength gradually dwindled after repeated battles, and some of them had lost their jobs. However, even so, they still firmly guarded that section of the city wall.
There were not many Sergeant Liang guarding the section of city wall in front of Li Mao. After the rain of arrows shot through, as long as he didn't die, he struggled to stand up, lifted rocks and threw them down. A tall sergeant Liang raised a stone gargoyle that he had torn down from the ridge of an unknown house with both hands. Just as he was about to smash it down into the city, he suddenly straightened up and held the gargoyle upright and fell backwards. After falling on his back, he saw that the soldier had an arrow stuck in his forehead and he was dead.
Soon a man's head covered with oil, sweat and blood and with a ferocious expression poked up from the city wall guarded by the soldier. He was overjoyed when he saw that no one was guarding him. He jumped up to the city and faced the people who were fighting fiercely on one side. Sergeant Liang will be cut off.
well! Li Mao sighed in his heart, he had to fight with this old bone again. Thinking about it, he drew the long sword from his waist. A subordinate beside him reacted faster than him. He held a bow in his hand and shot the man up the city with one arrow. The Jin soldier shot him to death. Li Mao still strode into the battlement and murmured, "What is supposed to come will always come." He thrust out his sword, and the tip of the sword penetrated the mouth of a Jin soldier who had just climbed to the battlement. Withdrawing it, the soldier fell down with a bloody grunt.
After a cup of tea, in a small valley not far from the battlefield, Li Tianxuan and other cavalrymen were sitting on their horses, breathing heavily. The bodies of people and horses in the valley fell to the ground, and there were many ownerless horses scattered around. Those around him were either guarding the rider's body or gnawing at the turf.
Li Tianxuan had multiple injuries on his body. Bones could almost be seen in one place on his leg, so he used the torn off shirt to stab it hard. His men are much fewer. Now they are both tired and injured. The fur of the war horses is like washing with water, and it is stained with sweat when touched. However, it is not time yet. The cavalry cannot attack the city. Kill the cavalry on the right wing of the Jin army. Defending the city won't be of much help.
After his breath had subsided, Li Tianxuan looked at his men and asked loudly: "Brothers, do you still dare to follow me and charge again?"
A captain with blood-red eyes roared: "Generals are not afraid of death, so why should we be afraid! How dare we not!"
"Okay!" Li Tianxuan hugged his fists to his cavalry, "Then I'll trouble you all to follow Li again. This time we will go directly into the Jin army and kill the old man Qiu Feng. We will definitely be able to solve this problem." Luo Jingcheng is in danger!"
"No!" the cavalry shouted in unison.
On the city wall, Li Mao's gray beard and hair were flying, and he was waving a long sword in his hand, fighting left and right on the city wall like an old lion. If a head appeared on the edge of the city wall, he would chop off the head with a sword. If an arm climbed up, he would chop off the arm with a sword. If someone suddenly jumped up and jumped onto the city wall without him being prepared, he would chop it off with a sword. Cut the man into two parts, one part fell down the city, and the other part was bleeding gurgling on the city wall.
His clothes and armor were all red, and his beard and hair were stained with blood. After a long battle, Li Mao was out of breath, but a violent turbidity slowly rose in his heart. His eyes gradually became blood red, and he gradually became crazy. Why can't they kill all of these people? If you cut off one head, another one will immediately grow on the wall. If you cut off another head, another one will appear in the blink of an eye. How come these people's heads are like wild mushrooms that grow in the ground after it rains? They can’t finish picking or chopping them all. Are they really not afraid of death? After laughing a few times, Li Mao felt that Luo Jingcheng looked so much like a broken ship sailing on the evil sea. Countless water ghosts jumped out of the water, clawing at the side of the ship to get aboard and claim their lives!
water? Yes, it's water, a big flood, a big flood. During the chaos, Li Mao's mind drifted away. He thought of the unforgettable flood more than forty years ago. He was still a young man, similar to Li Jian. age.
During the flood, the elders, children and servants of the family took shelter on the island-like roof, watching the rolling turbid currents surging on the river-like streets. From time to time, mice taking refuge climbed up under the tiles of the roof, and there were also mice climbing up from the trees. Rats jumped onto the roof, from tables, chairs, carriages, and even floating corpses floating in the water. The number became more and more numerous, forming a large black and gray mass, which frightened the women at home and screamed.
Li Mao picked up floating wooden sticks from the water to drive away the rats. Unexpectedly, the rats who were also in trouble were not afraid of people at all. Even if they were smashed into pulp by the wooden sticks, they would not jump into the water again. They were desperate. They screamed, jumped on his shoes, bit his feet, and even climbed up along his robe to bite his head and face. He still clearly remembered the pain of those little things squeaking, the tiny teeth biting his hair, and chewing his cheeks. For more than 40 years, Li Mao has fought countless battles and killed countless people, and his heart has become rock solid. Only the nightmare-like "squeaking" sound is his deepest nightmare, just like now.
Li Mao, who was in a daze, was completely relying on instinct to kill people. He really looked like a madman. At this time, dead bodies were everywhere in front of him and behind him, and his death was horrifying. His mind was trapped in a nightmare and was awakened by a burst of severe pain. He turned around and chopped off the head of a Jin soldier with a sword. After checking his own injuries, he found that he could not die and could not die.
Li Mao was injured, and Li Jian was almost blinded by the sight. He threw away the entangled Jin soldiers in front of him and went to kill Li Mao.
In front of the Jin army's formation, Commander Qiu Feng drew a line with human heads.
The siege was so brutal that no matter how hard the soldiers were pressed and no matter how generous the rewards promised, some would be frightened and dared to escape.
Qiu Feng was too lazy to pay attention and ordered to go down, but there were deserters, so he only had one word: kill!
However, the effect after killing them was not very good, so he ordered people to fetch many wooden poles from the camp, sharpen both ends and insert them into the ground in front of the formation. After chopping up the captured deserters, he stabbed their heads on the poles. Just like this, the heads formed a long line from left to right in front of the Jin army's formation, almost as long as the wall of Luojing City.
Later, many small flags were erected on this line. There were only eight words on the flags: "It is shameful to fear war and bring harm to the family."
After the Jin soldiers understood the meaning of those eight characters, especially the last four characters, there were very few deserters.
As long as you cross the line where people are discharged, unless you can capture the opposite city, don't think about crossing back to this line alive. As long as his head appears on these wooden poles, his wife, children, and children will also suffer the same fate. They will all die anyway. If he dies in front of the battle, his family may be able to get some compensation. If he fails to die and captures the city, the reward will definitely be generous. No. You have to choose, then go and die!
Qiu Feng stared at the fighting in Luo Jing City. Although his face was expressionless, he kept thinking anxiously in his heart: Why is it so slow? Why so slow! They obviously can't hold on any longer. As long as they attack harder, they can take down the city. What a bunch of losers! This city can no longer be defended, so why are they still insisting? Is that old guy really going to die in the city? does it worth? In this case, who would blame you if you abandoned the city? I also said that you live a happy life than me. Now it seems that you and I are actually the same, both of us can't help ourselves. No matter how famous or powerful we are, we are just pawns in the hands of others! Yes, chess piece! Luojing City is just a big chessboard. You are the general and I am the commander. We all come out here to fight. Isn’t it just like a big chess game like an elephant game? Why can't you understand? Don’t worry, after the city is destroyed, I will bury you with splendor. If you love fine wine, I will bury you a wine cellar. If you love weapons, I will collect sharp knives from the battlefield and lay them on the side of your coffin. If you love BMWs, I will lay them on the side of your coffin. As long as I take a fancy to the strong horses in the army, I will kill them and bury them for you. If you value friendship, how about your brothers, feet, and robes be buried with you? Even if your children and grandchildren are lucky enough to survive, I will not harm them again. I will just let them escape. If they are promising in the future, they will lead the army and fight again. In this way, even if you are dead, you old guy can't accuse me of being small, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qiu Feng suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves. Before he could look at it, a soldier shouted in panic, "Liang Jun cavalry!"
At this time, Qiu Feng glanced in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from, but he didn't realize that the cavalry he had arranged on the right wing was approaching. Then he asked a general next to him: "Where are our cavalry?"
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." Naturally, the general didn't know that the cavalry on the right wing was led to a small valley by Li Tianxuan and all were wiped out, but he still made a good guess.
"Hmph!" Qiu Feng snorted coldly and ordered loudly, "Form up!"
The formation of the Jin army changed. Countless soldiers holding spears crowded together in front, left and right. They squatted half-crouched and leaned their spears on the ground. The spear points were pointed in the direction of the cavalry. The dense mass of iron spear points was frightening. , like a porcupine huddled up and showing off its spikes, waiting for the opponent to pounce on it and die.
The Jin army's spear array was too thick. It was so thick that Li Tianxuan's cavalry could not rush to Qiu Feng in the center. No, we couldn't lose more men needlessly!
Li Tianxuan rode his horse to change the direction of the cavalry's attack, and passed by the spear array. A hail of arrows flew out from the Jin army, and many cavalry fell down, which made him feel great pain. He looked at the fair-skinned guy in the middle angrily and cursed secretly that it was because of you that I lost so many brothers!
Qiu Feng watched the angry Li Tianxuan and his cavalry passing by his spear formation. He smiled slightly. It would be great if he could catch this kid. He should give him a good beating and teach this disrespectful person a lesson. Elders, guys who always play bad tricks on their elders must be interesting.
Li Tianxuan was not discouraged. He had never expected to actually hit Qiu Feng with a knife. This time he rushed over with his cavalry, and his goal had actually been achieved: Marshal Qiu Feng was now less than two steps away from him with an ordinary bow and arrow. Shoot far. joke! Do you really think that only my father can shoot arrows, and I can’t? My archery skills were taught by the old man with stick after stick. Today I will show you!
When Li Tianxuan's horse passed the center of the spear formation, and the cavalry on the left flank of the Jin army was already pressing forward, Qiu Feng's eyes turned to Luo Jingcheng again. Li Tianxuan endured the severe pain in his leg and stood up from his horse with the stirrup on. The wound on his leg burst open and blood spurted out, but he ignored it. As soon as he turned around, the long bow in his arms was stretched like a full moon. When his gaze passed through the numerous figures, passed through the forest of spears, and finally locked onto the fair face, Li Tianxuan's thumb loosened its grip on the bow string.
The arrows shot away, and the three-sided armor-piercing arrowheads, together with the arrow shaft and feathers, rotated slightly through the gaps between countless spears, passed over the heads of countless half-crouching soldiers, and finally hit the armor's breastplate. On the armor, only a few sparks came out and penetrated, then passed through the armor leaves and the soft armor inside, and finally stayed at the place where Qiu Feng's hot blood flowed.
Qiu Feng looked down at the arrow in the middle of his chest in surprise, suddenly smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "I'm even more embarrassed this time!" When he looked up, he saw Li Tianxuan leading his cavalry around the left cavalry. After being chased, he actually escaped.
"Commander!" Seeing Commander Qiu hit by an arrow, the surrounding generals were stunned and shouted and gathered around.
"Why panic! You can't die!" Qiu Feng, who had always been calm and gentle, suddenly got angry. "It's serious to attack the city quickly. They are almost dead!"
Feeling that the arrow on his chest was an eyesore, Qiu Feng broke the arrow shaft, pointed the broken arrow in the direction where Li Tianxuan was escaping, and cursed: "Bah! Erlang of the Li family!" This sound was mixed with the spray of blood and foam. , "It's far worse than your dad, haha, it's far worse!" After cursing, he closed his eyes and leaned back.
Li Tianxuan shot an arrow. Although he never looked back, he knew that his arrow must have hit the target. What a pity! It would be great if he could get closer. As long as he could get closer, he would be sure to shoot Qiu Feng right through him. What a pity! There is no way to get any closer, I just hope that Qiu Feng will not die but he will be seriously injured! Thinking of this, he himself was actually on the verge of collapse. The wound on his leg was bleeding all the time. The excessive blood loss had made his bloody face turn pale. He couldn't stay outside the city. He had to return to the city, otherwise he would follow these brothers who came out. There really is no way to go back.
